Quick Start Guide — Affiliate Portal

What You'll Achieve

By the end of this guide you will have:

• Logged in and orientated yourself in the dashboard
• Found a campaign that matches your traffic
• Generated your unique affiliate tracking link
• Optionally set up a server-to-server postback for conversion firing
• Understood where to monitor your clicks and earnings

Step 1 — Log In to Your Account

1. Open your portal URL

   Your network operator will provide a login URL in the format yournetwork.affclix.com. Bookmark it for quick access.

2. Enter credentials

   Use the email address and password sent by your account manager. If you haven't received them, contact support.

3. Land on your Dashboard

   You'll see today's performance summary — clicks, conversions, revenue, and EPC across all approved campaigns.

Step 2 — Browse Campaigns

1. Navigate to Campaigns → All Campaigns

   The campaign list shows every offer available on the network. Use the status filter to show only Approved campaigns (ones you're already cleared to promote).

2. Review campaign details

   Click any campaign row to open its detail page. You'll see the payout model (CPA, CPL, CPI…), GEO restrictions, device targeting, daily caps, and creative assets.

3. Request access if needed

   For campaigns showing Pending or Unassigned status, click Request Access. Your account manager will approve or decline it.

Step 3 — Get Your Tracking Link

1. Open an approved campaign

   From the campaign list, click any campaign with Approved status.

2. Copy your tracking link

   The campaign page shows your unique tracking URL. It contains your affiliate ID and a unique click token embedded automatically.

3. Append sub-IDs (optional)

   Add &sub1=source&sub2=ad_id to the URL to pass source data that will appear in your reports. Up to 5 sub-ID slots are available.

Step 4 — Set Up a Postback (Optional)

If you run your own tracking system or DSP, you can receive a server-to-server callback every time a conversion is recorded — without relying on pixels or cookies.

1. Go to Campaigns → Global Postback

   Set a single postback URL that fires for every conversion across all your campaigns.

2. Add your postback URL

   Example: https://yourtracker.com/cb?cid={click_id}&payout={payout}&status={status}

3. Test with a live click

   Send a test click and verify your endpoint receives the callback. Full macro list is in the Postbacks guide.

Step 5 — Monitor Performance

1. Open Reports → Clicks Report

   Every click your link receives is logged here in real time with click ID, timestamp, GEO, device, and conversion status.

2. Filter by date range and campaign

   Use the date picker and campaign filter to narrow down any time window or specific offer.

3. Export to XLSX

   Click Export XLSX in the report header to download the current view for invoicing or reconciliation.
